Why why why why why? This ranks up there with Vanilla Sky for the most unnecessary remake of all time. Let the Right One In is one of the best films of the last few years, and its European tone and pacing is part of what makes it work so well. I dread to think of what Cloverfield director Matt Reeves will do to Americanize it. I haven't yet decided whether I will boycott this one out of principle or attempt to give it a chance.

     Following in the footsteps of The Incredibles, Megamind promises to be a "satirical take on superhero movies." The film focuses on a villain who loses his sense of identity after killing his nemesis. Megamind may be doomed to obscurity in the shadow of Despicable Me, which comes out earlier in 2010. The former does boast a big-name cast including Brad Pitt, Will Ferrell, Jonah Hill, and Tina Fey.

     The final Harry Potter chapter begins in this first part of the adaptation of the final novel in the series. In line with the current trend, Deathly Hallows will be presented in 3D.

     A contemporary comedic take on the classic adventure story, Gulliver's Travels stars Jack Black as the title character. A strong supporting cast includes Emily Blunt, Jason Segel, Amanda Peet, and Billy Connolly, but this film will likely live or die by its screenplay which could easily veer into Land of the Lost-level stupidity if the writers are not careful.

     A Philip K. Dick adaptation starring Matt Damon and Emily Blunt. Should be the most anticipated film of the summer, right? Details are scarce thus far, but The Adjustment Bureau has been touted as a sort of sci-fi Bourne movie.

     A modern reinterpretation of The Beauty and the Beast targeted at the Disney Channel crowd (see cast list including Vanessa Hudgens and Mary-Kate Olsen).
